This article examines the phenomenon of narrative globalization in 21st century Anglophone novels through the IMRaD (Introduction, Methods, Results, and Discussion) structure. The study explores how contemporary writers represent transnational mobility, cultural hybridity, digital interconnectedness, and global inequalities within fictional narratives. By applying comparative literary analysis and thematic interpretation, the research identifies dominant narrative strategies such as polyphony, fragmented temporality, multilingual discourse, and transcultural characterization. The findings demonstrate that globalization not only shapes thematic concerns but also transforms narrative form and identity construction in modern Anglophone fiction.References
